Location level RLS not filtering data

I want to apply RLS on my report based on location of logged in user , that is user should see the data that belongs to his location only. 

I am using location =Lookup(tbl[location], tbl[email], USERPRINCIPALNAME()) 

 

But when I do "view as Roles", no data is visible.

Hi @MathurAnjali ,

 

Please check the relationship of your data model.

By default, row-level security filtering uses single-directional filters, whether the relationships are set to single direction or bi-directional. You can manually enable bi-directional cross-filtering with row-level security by selecting the relationship and checking the Apply security filter in both directions checkbox. Note that if a table takes part in multiple bi-directional relationships you can only select this option for one of those relationships. Select this option when you've also implemented dynamic row-level security at the server level, where row-level security is based on username or login ID.
